Overview When Corporate Compliance Information Security started planning for WellStar Health System's HIPAA compliance program, they took the requirement to meet best practices in information security seriously. While other health organizations often tried to paper over their security vulnerabilities, WellStar implemented a sophisticated and comprehensive, technology-based security blanket to ensure that patient data stays confidential. The most active and important element in that security program is an TippingPoint intrusion prevention system that stops spyware from being installed, blocking several hundred spyware attacks each day.
